10 Best December 2026 Tours in Iceland
Join one of these handpicked Iceland December 2026 tour packages, tailored to the season.
The Grand Golden Circle and Crater is a compact tour that takes you to a series of remarkable and diverse sites in the Southwest of Iceland in a span of only eight hours. If you are only doing one tour in Iceland, this is the one!
In the Geysir geothermal area, we get the chance to observe the boiling hot spring Strokkur spout steaming water up to 30 meters into the air every 8 minutes.
The iconic waterfall of Gullfoss, or Golden Falls, is only a 7 minutes’ drive from Geysir – located in the glacial river Hvítá. It's elegant and majestic form is like no other, where the torrential river water plummets in two steps down into a 32 meters deep canyon.
Þingvellir National Park is not only a site of geological wonder, located at the intersection of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates but also a place charged with history, as the site of the national parliament since 930. Þingvellir tells stories of geographical and political struggles, compromises and ongoing evolution. Þingvellir was accepted on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its cultural values in 2004.
Additionally, the tour includes a visit to the volcanic crater lake Kerið.

Reviews of our Iceland Tours for December
Feedback from guests who toured Iceland during December.
Phoebe Rose | Traveled in December
My dad and I went on the guided hike up onto Skaftafell Glacier, and it was definitely an experience to remember. We walked right up onto the top of the glacier, through crevasses and down into an ice cave. It is quite a hike but slow-paced and has plenty of brakes. Our guide was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Definitely recommended!
Caleb Pa | Traveled in December
What an absolutely incredible trip! Our guide Henry was great, knowledgeable, entertaining and down to earth. Perfect guide! The trip is well thought out, and is the best tour to see the most of this incredible country! The views are everywhere so makes the drive between spots enjoyable. Some plans had to change due to weather but other stuff was organised straight away so wasn't a problem. Honestly was such an amazing trip can't praise it enough! If you're thinking about doing this tour, do it! You will not be dissapointed!

In the meantime, we have returned well and healthy from our trip to Iceland and we are deeply impressed by the nature experiences and various impressions of the journey. Everything went well, car, nights, whale watching; Only a little more time would have been there and there. But that was also clear given the tight time budget. A nice first impression, we'll be back for sure. Thanks again for the successful compilation of the tour and greetings
